--- Quote from: EPAIII on December 04, 2023, 09:30:15 am ---I would be very surprised if the Russians did not have special squads roaming the battlefields grabbing whatever they can find. And likewise for the Ukrainians and even some US personnel. Heck, Ukrainian farmers are hauling Russian tanks behind their tractors, probably to turn them over to their army.... --- End quote --- That would not surprise me, but between the age of the design and the U.S. military's poor inventory control, anyone who needs them has probably already collected and parameterized enough good examples. A quick search for javelin missile "stolen" gave a Ukranian market price of $30K/unit. |

The interesting thing is that someone so clueless has access to one. To me that means that the big boys who can really meaningfully extract information from such hardware already have their fill. |

As soon as you send a projectile of any kind towards the enemy, it ceases to be secret, and, as soon as it fails to explode (and sometimes even if it doesn't), its internals cease to be secret as well. ...besides, a number of these, probably a significant one, has been captured in battles. One can only guess where they go after that. |

I hope you guys can get rid of them sooner rather than later. |
